Trip Log

October 28, 2016

It is not Halloween yet but it was celebrated at Brownwood today. Craig and Janet were up for pickleball and after the games and lunch we headed to the Brownwood town center. We also wanted to buy tickets for an upcoming show at the box office but they closed 15 minutes before we got there.

October 25, 2016

Today was a day of rest so Alesa put pine straw around the plants.while I waxed the car. Probably the first time I've waxed a car in over 20 years. It was a day of rest because Alesa is nursing a sore knee and I won't let her on the platform tennis court until tomorrow.

October 23, 2016

It's been quite a sports weekend. Penn State beat Ohio State, the Indians and the Cubs are in the world series and the Eagles beat the Vikings. We golfed this morning and Alesa subbed in a platform tennis league on Saturday.

October 21, 2016

The Mainely Country Band was playing at Brownwood this evening so we borrowed the neighbor's 4 person cart and headed down with Craig and Janet who came up today for a few games of Pickleball and Chinese checkers.

October 16, 2016

You know it's October in Florida when the top of the Muhly Gras turns pink (actually a red/purple). It's all over the place and very pretty when the sun shines on/through it. Alesa got a clean bill of health on her follow up visit with the doctor.

October 9, 2016

Alesa is still taking a weeklong course of antibiotics, one of which has some strong side effects. One of these is to 'weaken' your tendons so they recommend no strenuous activities. We golfed today buy no racket sports.

October 7, 2016

Think the hurricane is pretty much over for us as the wind is out of the northwest, the sun is out and the rain has stopped, although there may still be bands coming through but don't see any on the radar .

October 6, 2016

The doctor didn't order the CTscan until around 11 and they brought up the prep drink, They took Alesa down around 1 and it only took a few minutes, They didn't post the results until 4:30.

October 5, 2016

Alesa is doing well just very bored and walking the halls. They didn't drain the abscess this morning, electing to continue the IV antibiotics for another day and hoping the abscess 'subsides' enough for her to be released tomorrow.

October 4, 2016

Alesa wasn't feeling well late last week and on Saturday she started having abdominal cramps. They weren't better on Monday so she went to the doctor. She has had them a few times in the past but they subside.
